more broadly on deficit reduction, for me, stepping back and looking at it, having done deficit reduction in the farm bill -- i know it can be done in a smart, sensible way that works for people, works for families. there are three parts to deficit reduction. one is spending cuts. congress has agreed to $1.6 trillion in spending cuts, not counting the $24 billion in the farm bill. social security is solvent till 2033. we ought to be addressing that, but separately. we have already agreed to $700 billion in cuts in savings to medicare. we have not done anything, until a couple of days ago, to say the wealthiest americans should be part of the solution, and that is what happened on new year's eve in the senate. we said the wealthiest americans need to contribute a little bit more while we maintain tax cuts for the middle-class families. going forward, balance means you address all of those things. it has got to be balanced in all three parts. the other thing we have got to keep focused on -- coming from michigan, i am laser focused -- and that is jobs and our economy growing. we will never

that obviously exacerbated our deficits. and then, since then they've been coming down under president obama. he is very serious about responsible deficit reduction. he has signed into law significant deficit reduction already. but he insists that we do it in a balanced way because he does not believe it is fair to ask only some sectors of the population -- seniors, children who have disabled parents, kids who are just trying to go to college -- to bear the burden alone of the kinds of choices that we need to make. and so thats why he hopes to engage congress -- republicans and democrats alike -- in a process that leads to more deficit reduction that includes the kind of balance that was enshrined in the agreement recently reached over the fiscal cliff. >> in the past, when you've been asked what leverage he would have since he's not going to negotiate with them, you've pointed to the business community in the hopes that they would bring some pressure to bear on republicans. do you see that happening? are you satisfied -- >>
